I watched the whole thing live! I live in Japan though, so it aired at a reasonable time for me (4 PM). I was SO happy that Cupcake Tate won. She's one of my faves. That Australian dude totally got robbed, though.

Missed out on this. I have a couple questions.... Was this a PPV? WIll it be rebroadcast? If so, was it worth watching?

It's watchable online right now, on UFC Fight Pass. You can sign up for a free one-week trial (that's what I did), and then click Watch The Replay and you should be good to go. http://www.ufc.tv/page/fightpass

Hunt knocking out Roy was something. Thirty fights & never was finished like that (even by JDS)

I hope Tate gets Zingano again, she made one mistake on her way to winning, but Cat should beat Nunes & be next for RR (either her or Carano)

The announcers praised Meisha's evolution and maturity, but I think she showed some real flaws to heavy grapplers. If Zingano's knees hold up and she's not too mentally fucked up from her husband's suicide, I don't see how it will end any differently than their last fight.

Tate had that fight 20-18 going in to Rd. 3 though
It could be a great fight.
I am rooting for Cat after all she been through to get to RR & beat her.
That would also set up a rematch with Tate

I know its unlikely & RR would get an immediate rematch, but I hope it happens

Looking into my WMMA crystal ball, Zingano wrestle/humps her way over Nunes. But she's been gone so long that they may make her take another fight before Rousey (probably a Tate rematch). I think there's too much heat for a Rousey/Correia fight and they probably want to do it next before someone else exposes Correia.

The only thing getting in the way of that scenario is the impending Carano signing (who Ronda will walk through).

If Tate happens to beat Zingano in a potential rematch, that'll put the UFC in an interesting spot. They won't want to give Tate a 3rd shot at Rousey.

They need to sign Holly Holm quick and get her at least one decent fight to honestly push her to the front of the line.

I think if Cat beats Nunes, she gets Ronda ASAP. If Carano jumps the line, I doubt Cat gets Tate due to what you said about the third fight.

The next 4 Rousey fights should be in this order (if she wins)
Zingano or Carano
Zingano or Carano
Correria
Cyborg

I think Cyborg absolutely jumps the line if she ever signs, but I'm not sure she'll ever do it. (The UFC plans on instituting out-of-competition testing by the end of the year.)

I also think that Carano will be one-and-done in the UFC. (Losing to Rousey and retiring for good.)

Rousey wants to fight once before the end of the year and that's good for business. She wants Carano or Correia now and she'll probably get it.

Thery're probably holding off announcing any fight until after Zingano/Nunes, but Zingano probably needs to look really special to earn her rightful spot back in line. In any event, you can probably expect to see Ronda cageside for that fight.
